Good Old School Days.
The conductor of a western freight
train saw a tramp stealing a ride on
one of the forward 'tars. He told a
brakeman in the cabo 'se to go up and
put the man off at the next stop. When
the brakeman approached the tramp,
the latter waved a big revolver and
told him to keep away.
"Did you get rid of him?" the con
ductor asked the brakeman, when the
train was under motion again.
-'I hadn't the heart," was the reply.
"He turned out to be an old school
friend of mine."
"I'll take care of him," said the
conductor, as he started over the tops
of the cars.
After the train had made another
stop and gone on, the brakeman came
into the caboose and said to the con
ductor:
"Well, is he off?"
"No; he turned out to be an old
school friend of mine, too."-Every
